Theodore "Ted" Weaver, age 74, of Portage, MI died on September 4, 2017, Ted entered into his heavenly home. It is with confidence the first words he heard was "Well done my good and faithful servant". Ted was born August 30, 1943, in Lancaster, PA, the son of Warren and Ada (Bucher) Weaver. He has been a Kalamazoo area resident since he attended WMU. During the Vietnam Era, Ted served in the United States Marine Corps. On June 23, 1967, he was united in marriage to Dorothy L. (Wellington) Weaver. He had a servant's heart and found great pleasure in helping others. Ted was one of the prayerful saints who helped forge the foundation of The Bridge Church. His legacy will be honored there for many years. He was employed for many years as a financial planner, first with John Hancock Financial from 1967 to 1999 and then with The Wiser Financial Group from 1999 until his retirement in 2016. Ted was an avid sports fan, especially for his "PA teams", the Steelers, Phillies and Penn State. However, he was much more of a fan of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchild. Surviving are his wife of 50 years, Dorothy L. Weaver; daughter Kalee Weaver; son Jeff (Melissa) Weaver; five grandchildren Alexis, Levi, Lydia & Landon Warren and Jackson Weaver; a great-granddaughter Camryn; his mother Ada Weaver; a brother William (Alice) Weaver; and many other special family and friends. Ted was preceded in death by his father Warren Weaver and by a brother Ronald Weaver. The family will receive friends from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00PM on Friday, September 8th at the Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Westside Chapel, 3926 South 9th Street and at the church for one hour prior to the service. A Service to Celebrate Ted's life will be held at 11:00AM on Saturday, September 9th at The Bridge (7200 Angling Road) with Pastor Jeff Wenke officiating. Immediately following the service the family invites you to a time of food and fellowship in the church fellowship hall. Interment will be held next week in Hess Mennonite Cemetery, Lititz, PA. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Ted's memory may be directed to The Bridge; or to the Semper Fi Fund.
